Despite evidence from high-income countries, limited data exist on how contextual and organizational factors in Latin American settings shape these experiences. This study aimed to assess the frequency and types of violence experienced by nursing students during clinical practice and the academic and emotional consequences. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted among undergraduate and graduate nursing students in Mexico City who had completed at least one hospital-based clinical placement in the previous 12 months. Data were collected between January 2024 and September 2025 using a validated questionnaire assessing types of violence, perpetrators, academic and emotional consequences. Violence was defined as experiencing events \u201coccasionally,\u201d \u201csometimes,\u201d or \u201cfrequently.\u201d Descriptive statistics were calculated. Associations were examined using Pearson\u2019s chi-square test, and logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, and year of study. Results: Seventy-three students participated (86.3% female). Non-physical violence was the most frequent type (90.4%), followed by sexual harassment (49.3%), mainly perpetrated by nurses (62%) and physicians (46.5%). Considering leaving the profession (41.4%) and feelings of inadequacy (66.2%) were the most common academic and emotional consequences. Although some associations were observed in bivariate analyses, these were not significant after adjustment. Conclusions: Violence during clinical training is highly prevalent and may represent a significant threat to nursing students\u2019 mental well-being and professional development. Strengthening institutional policies, reporting mechanisms, and supportive learning environments is essential to mitigate its impact and promote safer clinical training.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep16050167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,15]],"date-time":"2026-05-15T08:50:12Z","timestamp":1778835012000},"page":"167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Violence Experienced by Nursing Students During Clinical Practice and Academic and Emotional Consequences: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Samantha Ruth","family":"Novales-Huidobro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Universidad Panamericana, Augusto Rod\u00edn 498, Insurgentes Mixcoac, Benito Ju\u00e1rez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 03920, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-2663-2852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Lorena","family":"\u00c1ngeles-Pacheco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Universidad Panamericana, Augusto Rod\u00edn 498, Insurgentes Mixcoac, Benito Ju\u00e1rez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 03920, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Misato","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Kawahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Universidad Panamericana, Augusto Rod\u00edn 498, Insurgentes Mixcoac, Benito Ju\u00e1rez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 03920, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Constantino-Segura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Universidad Panamericana, Augusto Rod\u00edn 498, Insurgentes Mixcoac, Benito Ju\u00e1rez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 03920, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Garc\u00eda-Olea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Universidad Panamericana, Augusto Rod\u00edn 498, Insurgentes Mixcoac, Benito Ju\u00e1rez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 03920, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5490-1363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reyna","family":"S\u00e1mano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Montes Urales 800, Lomas de Virreyes, Miguel Hidalgo, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5741-0241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriela","family":"Chico-Barba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Universidad Panamericana, Augusto Rod\u00edn 498, Insurgentes Mixcoac, Benito Ju\u00e1rez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 03920, Mexico"},{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Montes Urales 800, Lomas de Virreyes, Miguel Hidalgo, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6136","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.16746","article-title":"Nursing Students\u2019 Experience of Workplace Violence in Clinical Practice: A Qualitative Systematic Review","volume":"32","author":"Dafny","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
